I often cook chicken soup. Sometimes (very often, actually) nobody but me wants to eat the meat from the soup, and sometimes even I’m not in the mood for overcooked, flavorless meat. But there is a way not to waste the meat. All you need is a blender, few ingredients, and spices of your choice. I recommend this combination.

Spicy Chicken Pate

2

chicken leg quarters cooked in soup

25 g

butter

2

garlic cloves

4

salted anchovy fillets in oil

1 tsp

chilli paste

2

pickled cucumbers (around 5 cm long)

salt, pepper

additi-onally:

some melted butter for pouring over the pate (optional)

Directions:Remove skin and bones from the cooked chicken meat. Put all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Put the pate in a glass jar or in a smaller bowl. Additionally you can pour over melted butter. This will prevent oxidation of the surface on the pate. Refrigerate.

If you don’t like too spicy and hot pate, instead of chilli paste you can try to combine some other ingredients like olives or fresh chives…
